Meet Our Students

Students entering the De Anza College Nursing Program represent a wide variety of educational, experiential and cultural backgrounds. They embrace many beliefs, values and interests.

Their different ages, ambitions and goals help to weave a cultural mosaic similar to the populations they will serve. Diversity is appreciated and celebrated in our program!

The nursing experience at De Anza College is further enriched by several options that are offered within our program.

Licensed Vocational Nurses, with or without work experience, who want to expand their scope of practice may enter our LVN to RN Transition Program. Advanced placement students, who have come from other nursing schools, add a different perspective on nursing. In total, the experience is richly diverse. Read more about our programs offered.
